There's a driver on this website under 'utilities'. Download the driver and just add the filepath and name to your DOS autoexec.bat file. Remember if a directory is longer than 8 chars, use ~1, ~2 etc.

By chance is your mouse using a USB connection? DOS is NOT compatable with the modern USB style connection.

I have looked all through this website and cannot find any link to "Utilities".
Please advise as I am using a USB mouse. :)
